A very good win in what could have been a very tricky tie at Wycombe. You will be ball number 39 when the draw is made.
Rotherham or Forest Green at Home, hardly a great draw but hopefully it should see us through to the 3rd round.
Great result for you and couldn’t ask for more than a home draw. Great chance of getting into the third round where you could meet one of the big guns!!! What about Sturrock coming back to hillsborough with you lot for a third round tie?
